1 A nd He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.”

Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, e tu ou waewae ki runga, a ka korero ahau ki a koe.

2 T hen the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.

Na kua tae mai te wairua ki roto ki ahau i tana korerotanga ki ahau, i tana meatanga kia tu oku waewae ki runga; a ka rongo ahau i a ia e korero ana ki ahau.

3 A nd He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ka unga koe e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira, ki nga iwi whakakeke, kua whakakeke nei ki ahau; ko ratou ko o ratou matua kua tutu ki ahau a taea noatia tenei ra nei ano.

4 F or they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’

A ko nga tamariki he whakatoi, he kaki maro; na ka unga koe e ahau ki a ratou, a me ki atu e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa.

5 A s for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.

Na ko ratou, ma ratou e rongo, ma ratou e kore e rongo, he whare whakakeke hoki ratou, ka mohio, na i roto i a ratou te poropiti e noho ana.

6 “ And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kaua e wehi i a ratou, kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, ahakoa he tataramoa, he tumatakuru i tou taha, a e noho ana koe i roto i nga kopiona; kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, kaua hoki e pairi ina titiro mai ratou, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.

7 Y ou shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.

Me korero ano e koe aku kupu ki a ratou, ma ratou e whakarongo, ma ratou ranei e kore e whakarongo: nui atu hoki to ratou whakakeke.

8 B ut you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

Ko koe ia, e te tama a te tangata, whakarongo ki taku e mea nei ki a koe; Kaua koe e whakakeke, kei rite ki taua whare whakakeke: hamama tou mangai, kainga hoki te mea ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koe.

9 N ow when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

Na, i taku tirohanga atu, nana, ko tetahi ringa e totoro mai ana ki ahau; nana, ko tetahi pukapuka i roto i te ringa;

10 T hen He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

Na wherahia ana e ia taua pukapuka ki toku aroaro, he mea tuhituhi a roto, a waho: ko te mea i tuhituhia ki reira he tangi, he uhunga, he aue.
